Javerlhac Castle was rebuilt around 1498 by Dauphin Pastoureau, a master blacksmith in Nontron. It is typical of Périgord manor houses, with a rectangular dwelling, a large round tower with machicolations decorated with trefoils, and a polygonal tower housing a spiral staircase. The castle retains defensive features such as gun ports, despite modernization in the early 19th century. It burned down in 1369 during the Hundred Years' War and has undergone several reconstructions. Privately owned, its facades and roofs have been listed as historic monuments since 1974.

Very narrow passage to drive through. You always have to be a little careful.

super !

Very beautiful castle. Unfortunately you can only visit it from the outside

Very beautiful mill from the 18th century. Beautifully embedded in the landscape.

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention that dates back to pre-Christian times. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by a watercourse - natural or artificial - in order to grind grain into corn or press oil from fruit, for example. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the water is guided above the wheel and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

In the heart of the city, this town hall is truly impressive. This public building, the former castle of the Counts of Angoulême, was built in ten years starting in 1858. Paul Abadie Fils, the architect, will preserve two towers, one from the 13th century, the other from the 15th century. The monument presents different architectural styles, witnesses to the history of the city.

Cluzeaux are shelters made by man in the rock. They are typical of Périgord. In the village of Argentina, perched on a rocky spur above the Nizonne valley, we find some dating from the Middle Ages. Grain silos, but also a huge necropolis have been built there. The site, free to access and very impressive, can be visited all year round.
